The Neonatal Brain Research Group is a multidisciplinary team, established in 2003 to investigate brain injury and seizures in newborn babies. Based in the in the new 50-cot state of the art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Cork University Maternity Hospital, the group specialise in the analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG) and other physiological signals. The overall aim of the group is to improve the long term health outcomes of newborn babies through early and accurate detection of neurological problems. The team consists of clinicians, scientists and engineers who are currently working on new classifications of the neonatal EEG, investigating the application of the EEG to diagnosis and prognosis, and developing methods to automatically analyse the EEG. We are also developing applications of teleneurophysiology and assessing the effect of medication on sick newborns.
